dalez 142 #1 Posted 12 hours ago I’ve hand this kicking around my garage for a long time and never gave it a second. Always thought it was an old kitchen stove part. Last night I took a better look at it and believe I figured out what it is. I am putting it out here to see if I’m right. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 8,697 #4 Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Wrong @ebinmaine. It is a blue plastic tray - similar to cafeteria trays. Oh. The rusty thing - maybe a portable boot scraper. Stick the pointy end in the ground and use the flat side to scrape your boot. Maybe a marlin spike thingy to help linemen with splices?

JoeM 9,698 #9 Posted 5 hours ago When driven into a pole, the end with the three notches is used as a separator to run multi lines so the tech could clip in easily. Sounds like a good like of BS. lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
